Chapter 2031

The woman kept talking while the man beside her grew a little impatient. "Alright, alright. We've been married for years. This isn't even your first pregnancy.""Hmph." The woman huffed, turned toward Liliana, and then glanced at Keith. "Young lady, are you newlyweds? First baby?"Liliana had not expected the woman to strike up a conversation. When she heard the question, she froze for a moment and then instinctively looked toward Keith.Keith smiled and held Liliana's hand. "Yes, it's our first. But we don't know for sure yet! We tested at home, but we came to the hospital just to make sure. We want to hear what the doctor says."He grinned. "She's been throwing up a lot.""Oh, then you're definitely pregnant," the woman replied cheerfully, eyeing Liliana from head to toe. "Your wife is beautiful. Trust me, you're expecting. I'm already on my second."Liliana felt embarrassed, especially after hearing what Keith just said. She could not help but lower her head. Keith's warm hand

Liliana's test results came back, and it was confirmed that she was pregnant. For her, it did not feel like good news. Even though Keith had said that if she really was pregnant, they would get married right away, Liliana still felt uneasy.This child was not Keith's, and she did not want him to suffer because of it.After they left the hospital, Liliana's mood remained low. During the examination, the doctor directly asked them whether they wanted to keep the child.At the time, Liliana hesitated. Deep down, she did not want the baby. However, as a woman who was about to become a mother, she found herself wavering at that moment.Keith noticed her hesitation and immediately led her away from the hospital. Naturally, Liliana did not see the figure in the distance who had been watching her the whole time.Sean had only come to Central City Hospital that day because of work. In fact, it was not necessary for him to make the trip himself, but the hospital's director used to be one of

Sean's name represented something powerful—authority. To have reached such a high position at a young age, he was someone countless people tried to curry favor with.Sean did not recognize the person in front of him. "And you are?""It's Jayla! Don't you remember me?" Jayla Radford smiled brightly as she looked at him. "We were classmates. I was also in Vista University's medical department, class of 2009."Only then did Sean study her more closely and nod. "Hello.""Right, I heard you opened a private hospital. What brings you to our hospital today?" Jayla was thrilled to run into such a big name and wasn't going to let this chance go to waste. "Oh, I work in the obstetrics department now."Sean narrowed his eyes and glanced down at the medical report Jayla was holding. His gaze abruptly locked on the name written on it. In one swift motion, Sean reached out and snatched the report from her hands. In that instant, his expression turned deathly pale.Jayla did not understand what

"Hey, Sean!"Jayla did not know what Sean was doing, but when she saw how awful his expression looked, she decided not to follow him. "Sean, why did you take my patient's report?"Unfortunately, Sean had already walked too far away to hear her.Jayla stared at his retreating figure and sighed helplessly. "Forget it. I'll just rewrite it."Luckily, her memory was decent, and there should still be a copy saved in the system. Still, she could not help wondering to herself—did Sean know that woman? Otherwise, why would he react like that?Sean got into his car and drove straight to Liliana's apartment. He went on pure impulse without thinking why. By the time he arrived downstairs, Liliana and Keith had just returned and stepped out of their own car.On their way home, Keith had stopped at a nearby mall to help Liliana pick up some essentials.Liliana still had not decided what to do about the baby, but Keith seemed to take it for granted that she would keep it. He had purchased qui

Sean had been waiting downstairs the entire time. Ever since Keith had gone up with Liliana, he never came back down. Sean sat motionless in his car, maintaining the same posture for hours.He kept his eyes fixed on the floor where Liliana's apartment was. First, the lights in the living room turned on. Then, after a long while, the lights in the bedroom lit up as well.His eyes, usually dark and emotionless, were now bloodshot. His hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly it seemed like he might crush it.Just when Sean thought he might lose control and charge upstairs, the lights in the bedroom went out.A long time passed before he saw Keith coming down with two bags of trash. After throwing them out, Keith did not go back up and left directly.Sean's cold, shadowed gaze remained locked on Keith until he completely disappeared from sight. Only then did Sean look away.Keith had no idea any of this was happening. Still, he could not shake the feeling that something was off t

Liliana looked at the breakfast Keith had ordered and felt a lump rise in her throat as she quietly finished eating it.After lying at home for a while, her thoughts drifted back to the dream she had the night before. Alarmed, she quickly got up and opened her bag. However, the moment she unzipped it, her face turned pale as she realized she did not have her medical report.That report contained confirmation of her pregnancy, along with various notes and instructions, including her emergency contact information.If a stranger found it, that might be manageable. However, if someone she knew picked it up… What then?Panic rising, Liliana jumped to her feet. She thought hard and realized she had not gone anywhere else after leaving the hospital. The only possible place she could have dropped it was at the hospital. Without hesitation, she rushed back there.It was around noon, which was a relatively quiet time, so there were not too many patients. Jayla had just finished organizing h

When Liliana heard that, her face turned pale in an instant. It felt as if a sharp blade had sliced through her chest. It was an ache that left her breathless."I understand," she said quietly. "I'll be taking my leave now. I won't disturb your lunch break, Dr. Radford."With her hand on the doorknob, she took a deep breath and quickly opened the door to leave the consultation room. But just as she stepped out, she bumped into someone head-on.Liliana staggered a little, kept her head down, and quickly sidestepped the person to walk away.Joanna blinked, startled by the sudden impact. She watched the retreating figure in surprise, narrowing her eyes slightly as if trying to make sure she was not mistaken. She stared for a while longer, frowning faintly."What are you doing here?" Jayla, who had just finished packing her things, looked up and saw Joanna standing at the door. She raised her eyebrows. "Aren't you working at Mr. Smith's hospital? What brings you here today?""I too

"Oh, her? Just a patient. Why?" Jayla glanced at Joanna, who was still looking outside, even though the person had already left. "You know her?"Joanna smiled. "I think so. She looked familiar."She thought for a moment. Maybe not? Could she have mistaken her? Why would Liliana come to a place like the obstetrics and gynecology department?"What's her name?"Jayla raised an eyebrow. "Why? Trying to snoop on a patient's privacy?"Her tone was half-joking. Joanna did not take it to heart and laughed it off. "She's a student from Vista University too. I'm not sure if you remember her. I interacted with her once during the freshman orientation. Her name is... Liliana.""Liliana?" Jayla was surprised. Her impression of Liliana was still quite vivid, so she was a bit shocked. "She's really a student from our university?""Yeah. But we're not from the same faculty. You're such a model student, always focused on studying, so I wouldn't expect you to know her. You know me, though. I like

Chapter 2039

Joanna had been on edge for quite some time, especially after discovering that Sean's contact list included Liliana. He had even saved her name under a rather affectionate nickname, no less. The sight alone had ignited her fury, sending her spiraling into jealousy.Then came Tania's provocation not long ago, where she had even exposed the illusions Joanna had carefully crafted in front of her colleagues. To make it worse, Tania had said she was taking Liliana to dinner with Sean.From that moment on, Joanna had regarded Liliana as a thorn in her side—even though Liliana had not actually done anything.Yet now that she knew Liliana had a boyfriend—and was even pregnant—Joanna felt like the sun had come out after weeks of rain. Even strangers on the street seemed unusually friendly.The dinner party to welcome Edgard back was set at The Majestic Lounge. The private room had actually been reserved by Sean himself.Originally, Sean had no plans to attend. He did not have particularly

Jayla's smile stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered. "Congratulations to you both.""Thanks!"Edgard glanced briefly at Jayla, then casually shifted his gaze away. He looked around the room. "Where's Sean?""He hasn't arrived yet!" Lennox couldn't help chiming in. "The man's always busy nowadays. You see this private room at The Majestic Lounge? It costs tens of thousands of dollars just to reserve it. We heard it's a VIP room, and apparently, there's even a Supreme VIP level. Can you imagine how luxurious that must be?"There was a hint of envy in Lennox's tone, though he was mostly just teasing.Edgard chuckled. "He's always been impressive. You guys know that better than anyone."He did not seem to care much and pulled Adelaide into a seat beside him.Although everyone had gone separate ways over the years and some had not seen each other in a long time, they were still classmates from the same major, so conversation came easily.Sean arrived later, stepping in d
